CEO of JustUS®, also known as celebrity hairstylist StacyK, named among the famous faces who will be judging the 2017 National State Texas Pageant.

With cameras rolling on a major television network, to be announced later next week, we asked StacyK, “What’s all the drama behind the stage of these glitzy pageants, and does it have anything to do with the excitement taking place on stage for the judges?” She laughed and then avoided our question by saying, “What happens behind the scenes is just a part of the business. Competition is always a balance between seeing yourself in the mirror, and knowing without looking in the mirror: are you at your best?”

Austin, Texas, is the home of the Universal Royalty State Pageant®, well known in the pageant industry for appearances on TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras™, Good Morning America, Dr. Phil, and many other shows.

But, we also discovered that, from behind the stage to onstage, she has emceed for pageants and eventually made her way to the front of the stage as a judge working the South Texas pageant circuit for over 7 years.
